His statement from the announcement:
Hey all! I'm going to Korea to practice in the EG-TL house! Many probably saw this coming because of me playing in WCS NA, but here goes! ^_^
I enjoyed my stay in the MoW-house last summer and the team-house environment was great for my practice. I've wanted to get back to such an environment for a while and the EG-TL house is the best!
The EU solo model is okay too—I've won a good deal of tournaments and money the past months and could have stayed in Europe, playing WCS EU and other tournaments. However, I haven't been happy with my lack of consistency and slow improvement rate the past few months. That's why I know it's the perfect time for me personally to go to Korea and practice there. It was great to be there last year and I'm sure it will be good for me now.
Unlike last year where I traveled from PC bang to PC bang, I'm going to stay in the EG-TL house, training under Head Coach Park and learning from the amazing players that are there. I'll do everything I can to make the most out of it and contribute where possible. I know I've been quite shaky the last few months (Katowice, Cebit, Dreamhack) and I can't promise better results right away but I will give it my all and it doesn't hurt to have more foreigners trying! And again, I just want to give another thanks to those who've been supporting me through the hard times!
My primary focus will be fighting for my team in Acer TeamStory Cup, Proleague and playing in WCS NA. If you want to watch my practice I'll stream on a schedule too and for everything else I'll keep you updated as usual on Facebook(link) and Twitter(link). I'm extremely grateful for this opportunity and want to give my thanks to Team Liquid/EG-TL and our sponsors: ShinyThings, Barracuda Networks, Razer and Twitch. Fighting

He recently made it out of his WCS America group by defeating Theognis and Vibe and will be playing at the live stage of their tournament next. Good to see, he's a talented player and has a lot to gain from a strict and difficult practice environment.
